‘Django Unchained’ Might be Headed for Its Own Mini-Series

And it will probably offend everybody.

Chronically cranky filmmaker Quentin Tarantino revealed in a press conference on Friday he has plans to release extra footage from Django Unchained as a four part TV miniseries.

True to form, the director announced his plans while still managing to be cranky about something — this darn generation’s unwillingness to watch four-hour movies.

“It wouldn’t be an endurance test,” Mr. Tarantino said at the Cannes Festival press conference. “It would be a mini-series and people love those. You show people a four-hour movie and they roll their eyes. Show people a four-part mini-series and they’ll sit and watch it all in one sitting.”
